For those of you that asked, the first thing that I did was remove the
top plate of the 2BBL and observe the float and needle valve.  With the
ignition on, the pump kept pumping until the pressure built up so much
that the fuel started leaking past the seat after about 20 secs.  When I
shut off the ignition I tried to relieve the pressure in the line, I
pushed down on the float and the fuel flew everywhere.  Thank goodness
the engine was cool.

Anyhows, the consensus is to go with the aftermarket fuel pump.  Thanks
to all that responded.
